Imagine enjoying a superb meal and fine wine on the gorgeous
island of Martha’s Vineyard to top off a relaxing summer week full of unwinding
on the beach, shopping at boutique shops, dining luxuriously, and lounging on patio
decks. You finish up your delicious meal, sit back, and reflect on the fond
memories of sightseeing in the hot afternoons and socializing in the breezy
summer nights. Martha’s Vineyard offers plenty to the discerning traveler, and
with the warm summer months approaching, it is the best time of the year to
visit this beautiful island. A recent partnership between Private Flight
Advisors and Martha’s Vineyard’s most luxurious restaurant, The Sweet Life Café,
is sure to also make your stay a little more elegant.
There are many beautiful places to stay on
Martha’s Vineyard, but the historic Harbor
View Hotel & Resort, located in the very heart of Edgartown,
Massachusetts offers a unique and charming atmosphere with stunning ocean views,
refined Martha’s Vineyard décor, and attentive personal service. The hotel is flanked by historic homes from
19th-Century whaling captains, and offers spacious, well-equipped suites
ideal for relaxation.
Once you get a good night’s rest in your suite at the Harbor View
Hotel, if you are looking for an adventurous afternoon, Martha’s Vineyard
offers plenty for the active traveler. A short walk out of your hotel door can
lead you to many pleasurable locations including: 100 miles of bike trails
alongside beautiful beaches, forests and quiet country lanes; acres of
picturesque bird watching sanctuaries; gorgeous golf courses including the Farm Neck
Golf Club which has been described as the “East Coast Pebble Beach”; and
many piers where you can take sailing courses to learn wind awareness, dock
procedures, boat steering, and roles of a the crew.
If you prefer an afternoon by the beach, a trip to one of the best
hidden gems on Martha’s Vineyard is a great decision. A car ride through the
woods of Edgartown leads to a long and windy dirt road surrounded by dunes, and
eventually to Long Point
Wildlife Refuge, a spectacular hidden beach along the southern coast of Martha’s
Vineyard. Whether you want to wakeboard in
the ocean, relax in a lukewarm freshwater pond, or explore a rare grassland
habitat, the Long Point Wildlife Refuge has all of these amenities in a 1 mile
radius and will quickly become your favorite hidden escape.
A relaxing afternoon on the beach will
transition nicely into a cool late-afternoon stroll in Oak Bluffs. This is a perfect
destination for travelers looking to browse boutique clothing and surf shops;
receive spa treatment; or experience the night life at luxurious bistros. Oak
Bluffs has everything for the whole family, including a carousel and an arcade
for the children, to pubs and taverns with lovely harbor views for the adults.
Stop into the preppy & coastal inspired clothing retailer, Vineyard Vines, and hear
the two founders’ amazing story starting as necktie salesmen, to becoming one
of the leading luxury brands and retailers in the United States.
A
promenade through the quaint and homey streets of Oak Bluffs can follow with a
delicious meal amidst elegant ambiance at Martha’s Vineyard’s most luxurious
restaurant and Private Flight Advisors’ most recent partner- The Sweet Life Café. The
Sweet Life Café is housed in a charming Victorian house and features warm
tones, low lighting and handsome antique furniture. A favorite site to Barack
Obama and Michael J. Fox, this highly regarded restaurant was
voted best new restaurant in 2007 by Boston Magazine and Best Restaurant on
Martha’s Vineyard in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2008. Many guests opt for the

blanc or the seared scallops with morel pana cotta, asparagus and morel ragout. Be sure to also choose from one of the 90 carefully selected bottles of wine!

Vineyard is the perfect luxurious destination for exciting outdoors activities
